Bio
Son of Frank and Josephine (Fisher) Jezek. Married Josephine Eckstein on July 18, 1891 at Willow Creek, Saunders County, Nebraska by a County Judge (Saunders County Marriages, Vol. 6, p. 455, no. 1272). ''''''''''''''''''''' People's Banner (David City, Nebr.), June 26, 1902, p. 4, col. 3 KILLED BY TRAIN. Frank Jezek Run Over by F E & MV Freight and Bled to Death. COMPANY NOT RESPONSIBLE Last Friday evening, June 20, as the east bound F. E. & M. V. freight was pulling into Linwood between eleven and twelve o'clock, it run over Frank Jezek, a farmer living about five miles this side of Linwood, at the cattle guard about a quarter of a mile this side of town, severing his left leg between the knee and ankle and crushing off all the toes on the right foot. After the accident the unfortunate man crawled a distance of about 30 feet and laid down under a bunch of willows, where he bled to death. The unfortunate man was not seen by any of the train crew and nothing was known of the terrible accident until Saturday morning when the body was discovered by Geo. Parks while on his way to work about 5:30. Coroner Sample was soon notified to come and hold an inquest. The corner proceeded at once to the scene accompanied by Sheriff West and W. M. Cain, local attorney for the company. On arriving at Linwood Coroner Sample telegraphed the division superintendent at Fremont, of the accident, which was the first intimation he or the train crew had of the occurrence. The superintendent and train crew came to Linwood at once. A coroner's jury was empaneled and a verdict rendered to the effect that deceased came to his death as above stated. The jury exonerated the company of all responsibility. It appears that Mr. Jezek had been in Linwood most of the day and had started home between ten and eleven o'clock afoot on the railroad track and it is the supposition that he was under the influence of liquor and had sat down with his limbs over the rail. However it is not known to be the fact as no one witnessed the accident but it was the only plausible conclusion which could be reached under the circumstances.
